Nokia E75 promises full desktop email functionality

The E75 offers access to corporate and consumer email accounts

Nokia has unveiled the latest in its Eseries of smartphones targeted at push-email business users in the UK.

The Nokia E75 is being touted as offering the benefits of full desktop email functionality in a mobile handset, and is the first device to offer the latest Nokia Messaging email user interface.

Nokia said that the complete integration of its email and messaging services would allow for an efficient three-step email setup. The E75 has also been configured to offer access to both corporate and consumer email accounts, including Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, Mail for Exchange and Lotus Notes Traveller.

The SIM-free model is available now from Nokia retail outlets and online stores in the UK for £379.

Unlike other E-series handsets, the E75 features a slide-out Qwerty keyboard and two customisable home screen views offering business and personal user interfaces.

The handset also offers integration with Nokia's web-based Ovi services, including Ovi Files for storing and accessing files and documents on a PC even when it is offline.

Nokia Maps, which works with the onboard Assisted-GPS, is preloaded for enhanced startup performance, and Nokia is supporting the N-Gage games service on an Eseries device for the first time.

The E75 goes on sale from Nokia direct today, and from Carphone Warehouse on a £35 pay-month tariff from 28 April, and from Orange Business on a £40 pay-month tariff from 4 May.
